LinkedIn and Sales Benchmark Index Announce Social Selling Webinar

Las Vegas, NV, Jan 14, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) --
Sales Benchmark Index, a sales consultancy focused on helping companies "make the number," is partnering with LinkedIn, the world's largest professional network, to teach Social Selling. This webinar, on January 17th at 1:00 PM CST, will help sales leaders replace ineffective prospecting techniques with modern Social Selling approaches.

In "Make Your Number with Social Selling," Sales Benchmark Index's CEO Greg Alexander will be interviewing LinkedIn's Head of Global Sales Ops, Brian Frank. The session will provide attendees with the approach LinkedIn uses to implement their own product to generate leads. Mr. Frank will discuss what has worked, what has not worked, and offer recommendations on implementing Social Selling effectively.

"At Sales Benchmark Index, we try to provide sales and marketing leaders new ways to make the number," said Greg Alexander, CEO of SBI. "Together with LinkedIn, we have an opportunity to illustrate how modern prospecting techniques out produce traditional approaches. "
Brian Frank of LinkedIn said, "LinkedIn's Sales Navigator solution has helped us make social selling a reality for our company. We have standardized across our entire company what once was being done by some sales pros in how we find new prospects, uncover connections for warm introductions, and access insights to initiate a compelling conversation."
